Default Steve Young against Prop 8

In case you missed it:

As you can imagine, there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth over on CB.

I always liked Steve. Good for him.

Yeah, good for Steve. Sounds like this is more his wife's thing, but at least Steve is reasonable enough to go along with it.

I am not sure I buy that, but it doesn't matter. Either way it is a huge gesture and I am sure it will generate controversy. They must feel pretty strongly about it. That took a lot of guts.

Takes guts to go along with your wife, and go along with all the other fools in the Bay Area? LOL Guys would be standing up to your wife, and sustaining our prophets.

You would have loved to live in the pre 60's. Back then you had the backing of the church that the man was number 1 and the woman was number 2. Now it is just a veiled thing but not openly taught.

Exactly, which is why the gutsy thing for Steve to do would be to stand for what's right, not to stand for what will get him laid.

So there is only one "right" thing? Simplistic.

There is in this case. That is, if you sustain the men in Salt Lake as prophets. Which I assume you do. Don't you?

By the way you talk about gays, it appears you do not sustain the prophets.

I sustain the prophets on this issue. Why don't you?
Oh really? And how do I talk about gays? I love gays. I hate homosexuality, and any policies that trt to indoctrinate my kids about it being a moral lifestyle.
